I realise the orange probably won't be a popular choice as it does look a bit outlandish.
I do quite like the black though.

I need to make a decision about what to do with my grille, I'm pretty set on how the car is going to be painted and this photoshop reflects it as best as it can, although the car will be on 10" Exactons with Mini Special arches.

i reckon maybe leave the grille alone because its splits it up a little which is awesome and maybe make the rings around the front lights black? just an idea

I voted orange but I think the wheels shouldn't be all black, maybe a polished lip? I think it's too black down the side of the car.

I've voted for orange, because being different is what owning a mini is all about, how many orange grille do you see!!
Also agree maybe a orange stripe on the wheels.
Very cool looking mini

Go ORANGE! or chrome. I've never liked black grilles because most black grilles are plastic, and plastic = cheap looking.

Go on, give us a clue, how come I haven't spotted this mini about considering I'm only in Preston?
Lovely motor, personally, like the black grille, but was wondering if perhaps some orange wheel-centres or an orange coachline around the car's 'waistline' much like the line taken by the chrome trim fitted to hornets and elf's back in't day.
Just my tuppence.
Very nice motor which should look good whichever option you choose.

Thanks for the input guys 
.
The plan is to have the wheels black, but the brake calipers and the rear drums are the same orange as the roof and wing mirrors.
Matt.P, you've not seen it as it doesn't exist yet mate
. The car in question currently looks like this:
Keep the comments and votes coming guys, I'm actually quite shocked just how even it is!
